I picked this up semi-blind from TJ Maxx (I only sniffed an open container which wasn't officially a tester). From what I could tell, it was worth the gamble. And I was so right! The packaging is lovely. A solid wood box with a magnetic closure protects a sort of teardrop bottle, which is flat on side should you wish to keep it out of the box. I don't get floral fruity at all. I get more green, woody, with a hint of florals. Maybe 45 minutes into the drydown there is some fruitiness there (could be the passionfruit; I'm still learning to pick out notes), but it is not sweet. That is about the only transition; it's relatively linear. It's light, close to the skin, and I concur with those below who said it would be good for office wear. I can also see potential for layering with another fragrance, although I haven't tried that yet. It lasts longer on fabric than on my skin. I have taken to spraying my sheets and pillowcase at night, which ensures I fall asleep with a smile on my face. I like it more every time I smell it, and am planning on buying another big backup bottle or two.

this is a very odd scent, I think. Not very fruity at all, but certainly floral in a slightly oh so slightly powdery way, without becoming old fashioned. There is a clear note of cedar to me....it's almost unisex if not for the lovely lovely floral notes. I imagine.....a young, elegantly dressed woman working in a library with an eccentric-but-stylish fashion sense there. Maybe with rectangular glasses, dark wash skinny pants, and a lace cami with black bomber jacket and super straight hair. This perfume exudes elegance and freshness, yet the woodsy-ness grounds it so it's not too airy. I like to layer it with Nina Ricci Nina for a more feminine scent; I couldn't believe how well the two complemented each other!

I bought a bottle of this and wore it regularly - it's very nice - it's light and fresh -does seem to fade thru the day if I didn't spritz some on my clothing. I kept it until I dropped it in the bathroom one day and broke the bottle. My 9 year old niece hugged me one evening when I was wearing it. Later that night she told my sister that I smelled so good she could live in my arms forever. :)

Lovely bottle - and in a wrapping that you can keep! Really innovative. But alas, the power of this wonderful fragrance is soooo weak :( i like the smell and was therefore so sad to try it on my skin. Poor sillage and even poorer longevity...

I love this scent, it is great for a summer date. It is fresh but will be noticed. This is a summer scent and might not fair well in the colder months but is sill very lovely and nice for a collection
